But AF/E/etc. lenses can be used with stop-down metering

easily (just poke a finger nail up into the "prong slot" in the

meter until two clicks are heard - meter with the DOF

preview pushed in) - and this method is more accurate

than normal-mode since the actual light passing through the

lens' aperture is being measured directly, instead of using

an analogue for the aperture which may not accurately

represent it...
